GENERAL

This is about us and what we provide

These General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), govern your use of the services, information, tools, resources and content (collectively, the “Services”) provided by OPP Global Pty Ltd; OPP Australia Pty Ltd; Our Natural Gifts Pty Ltd and Our Playful Planet, (known as “the Collective”) including:

this Web Site (the “Site”),
all content, resources and tools offered at this Site,
other services provided by the Collective whether online or in person. In these Terms, “you” or the “User” refers to any person using the Services.

ACCEPTING THE TERMS

This is so we can work together, and yes it’s a bit legal

To use the Services, you must be human; not a “bot”; and agree to the Terms, otherwise you may not use the Services – simple. You can accept the Terms by:

(A) clicking to accept or agree to the Terms, where this option is made available to you on the Site; or
(B) by actually using the Services. In this case, you understand and agree that the Collective will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the Terms from that point onwards.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by any amendments (see “Amendments to Services” below) in effect at the time of your visit.

REGISTRATION, YOUR MEMBERSHIP & PAYMENTS

Important section about you and how you connect with us (still a bit legal)

To use certain services on the Site, you must be a Member. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.
When you register, you agree:

to supply the information requested in the registration process; and
to ensure the information you supply is accurate.

During registration, you select a User-Name and Password for your individual account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your User-Name and Password, and for all activities, acts or omissions that occur under your User-Name and Password, including all content uploaded or posted and statements made. We reserve the right to disable an account if we suspect any unauthorized use, or if you provide fraudulent or misleading information, or otherwise do not comply with these Terms or the Privacy Policy (for example, giving a false email address when registering). If you learn of any unauthorized use of your User-Name or Password, you agree to notify us immediately. The Collective disclaims and is in no way liable for any claims related to the use or misuse of your User-Name and Password.

By accepting these Terms, you confirm that you are the legal owner of any credit/debit card used for payments on this Site.

CONTENT

This is about what we provide and how you use it

All information presented at the Collective events, forums or on the Site, including all articles, information, text, graphics, images, webcasts, hyperlinks, statements, blogs, listservs, chat, forums, bulletin boards, and other materials either provided by the Collective, or by others, (the “Content”), is presented as a general service.

2. you do not make any representations or warranties relating to such General Content;
3. you do not remove any proprietary rights, notice or language in such distribution and
4. you indemnify the Collective against any liability arising from use of such General Content.

PRIVACY POLICY

This is how we protect your information

Your privacy is important to us at the Collective, and we respect your concerns about maintaining it, so any information that you divulge to us is kept in confidence. Even when you choose to give us personally identifiable information via an electronic means, a phone call, by registering for a program or purchasing a product, we keep it confidential.

We do not sell, rent, share, or otherwise disclose mailing lists or other personally identifiable information except as required by Australian law. We maintain some records of users who contact us so that we may contact you later or provide further information to you in the future. We also maintain some records that enable us to process fees that you have agreed to pay in exchange for programs or services. However, we do not provide your information to anyone else unless you give us your permission in writing.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Find Google’s privacy policy here.

The Collective may use third-party service providers to help us provide portions of the services offered at our sites based on their published policies and/or explicit agreement to conform with our policies. The Collective currently uses the services of MailChimp to facilitate our email communication with our community and customers based on their privacy policy. For the full privacy statement review the MailChimp Privacy Statement here.

The Collective takes the necessary precautions to ensure your sensitive information is safe and secure. When ordering and entering personal information, that information is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer – industry standard protection). All sensitive information is encrypted using 256-bit encryption technology, the highest level technology protecting information from interception and hacking.

As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your User-name and Password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.

COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE POLICY

If you believe that an infringing copyrighted work is accessible on the Site, you may notify us by sending the following information to the address listed below:

An electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other right being infringed;
A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
A description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the Site;
Your address, telephone number and email address;
A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the materials on the Site of which you are complaining is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
A statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner or intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

Please put “Notice of Infringement” in the subject line of all such notifications, and send them via our contact form at ournaturalgifts.com.

We will process and investigate all notices of alleged infringement as required, and will remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. When we remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing, we may attempt to contact the supplier of such material in order to give that supplier an opportunity to respond to the notification. If the supplier of the material gives a counter-notification claiming that the use is authorized, we may reinstate the material in question, and we will furnish that counter-notification to the complaining party, and will give the complaining party a relief period for review before we replace or restore access to any materials. Please note that if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is not infringing the copyrights of others, you may be liable for damages (including costs and legal fees). Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you seek legal advice before providing a counter-notification.

TRADEMARK INFORMATION

You agree not to use or display logos and trademarks owned by the Collective and/or its affiliated entities or of their respective owners, without the prior written consent of the owner of such logos or trademarks.

AMENDMENTS TO SERVICES AND TERMINATION

The Collective reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. The Collective may amend the Terms at any time by posting the amended Terms on the Site which will then be effective. Where you have used the Services prior to any amendment to the Terms, then the Terms in effect at the time that you used the relevant Services will continue to be in effect solely with respect to that prior use. You understand and agree that if you use the Services after the date on which the Terms have changed, the Collective will treat your use as acceptance of the updated Terms. You agree that the Collective, in its sole discretion and with or without notice, may terminate your access to any or all Services, and remove and discard any information or Content within a Service. The Collective may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Site for any reason, or for no reason whatsoever including, without limitation, for breach of these Terms.

FINAL COMMENTS

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia without reference to any conflict of law principles. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity of any remaining provisions. In these Terms, the term ‘including’ means ‘including without limitation’.

Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms, these Terms set forth the entire agreement between you and the Collective regarding the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede all prior promises, agreements or representations, whether written or oral regarding such subject matter.

Congratulations! You’ve reached the end. Thanks for taking the time to learn about the Collective’s policies. If you have come this far, it is likely that you have the Gift of Knowledge as a Primary Gift.
